Tesla’s rollout of Full Self-Driving (Supervised) in South Korea is gaining momentum quickly, with new data showing owners have collectively logged millions of kilometres using the system in just a few months. What makes this figure impressive is the relatively small size of the FSD fleet in the country.
According to Tesla Korea, drivers in the country have now accumulated more than 8 million kilometres using FSD (Supervised) since its launch, a milestone reached in roughly 100 days.
The company shared the update in a post on X highlighting the rapid growth in usage among local Tesla owners, which are currently using FSD v14.1.4.
“The cumulative driving distance by Korean Tesla owners has astonishingly surpassed 8 million km in just about 100 days!” Tesla Korea said. The company added that the data is based on internal tracking as of March 3.
Rapid growth in FSD usage
The milestone is a big increase from earlier figures reported shortly after the feature became available in the country in November. By Christmas eve, Tesla owners in South Korea had logged approximately 1 million kilometres within the first month of the rollout.
Usage has accelerated significantly since then. Tesla Korea noted that the cumulative distance quickly climbed to more than 8 million kilometres, reflecting growing adoption as drivers become more familiar with the system.
Based on Tesla’s data, the growth rate has been notable. While early usage averaged around 1 million kilometres per month, the overall pace has increased considerably as more drivers activate and regularly use the feature. In the little over two months since the first milestone, an additional 7 million kilometers, or about 3.5 million kilometers per month have been logged.
FSD in South Korea is Still Limited
What makes this growth even more notable is that Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) is currently limited to Model S and Model X owners in South Korea, meaning the number of vehicles capable of using the software remains relatively small.
Unofficial estimates suggest there are only a few hundred eligible vehicles in the country. Once the feature expands to the far more common Model 3 and Model Y, the cumulative mileage figures are likely to grow much faster.
